in KJV says "Elhanan the son of Jaare-Oregim the Bethlehemite killed the brother of Goliath the Gittite,". The experts I read says your version was due to a mistake when transcribing. I generally consider the KJV to be the closest version, especially since I was raised on it. The experts that I know goes back to the latin. I would check with themon this but it isn't important enough. You, Mr. Squirrelmaster, will never be a believer.

And then your version of 1 Corinthians 2:8:

quote:
None of the rulers of this age understood this, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

vs. KJV

quote:
Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

Slightly different, don't you think?

And the last one is Ephesians 6:12. Your version says:

quote:
12For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

but KJV says:

quote:
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

This only serves to show me who those dark powers are.

For this is not Cath. vs. protestant. I am considered protestant even though I'm Baptist. My wife of 53 yrs. is Catholic. We are going to bed in about an hour and once again prove that the 2 can become one for awhile. ATM it is good (me) vs. darkness, evil, (you).

Here is a comparison between KJV and ESV:

quote:
KJV – This translation was created in the 1600’s. It completely excludes the Alexandrian Manuscripts and solely relies on the Textus Receptus. This translation is usually taken very literally, despite the obvious differences in use of language today.

ESV – This version was originally created in 2001. It was based on a 1971 Revised Standard Version.

So where did the RSV come from?

quote:
The Revised Standard Version of the Bible (RSV) is an authorized revision of the American Standard Version, published in 1901, which was a revision of the King James Version, published in 1611.

So let me get this straight. Your ESV is a revision of the RSV which is a revision of the ASV which was revised from the KJV. ... So they found and corrected mistakes in KJV in 1901 and after a couple more revisions you found the hill you want to die on. ... Say hello to the fallen angel for me.
